Chapter 17: The Edge of Life and Death

(Ask for recommendation! Ask for collection!!)

To reach the iceberg outpost, you have to walk through the rainforest at the bottom of the mountain, which is up to 100 kilometers wide, and it rains every day and is muddy everywhere. It is very dangerous to encounter rainy days in the forest, but it rains every day here, that is, danger is everywhere, but fortunately, the team members support each other and walk through the dense forest without danger.

Poisonous mosquitoes are the biggest killer weapon for soldiers without any protection, but fortunately, there is no limit to the antidote to poisons, Li Jing and Aina are trained by medical officers, and they are experts in this regard.

But it's wet everywhere, and there is no way to start a fire, and eating raw meat for several days in a row makes them keep having diarrhea, and there is no special medicine, so they can only grit their teeth with a strong physique.

At night, this is the only time when they don't need to get wet, and the simple canopy made of huge leaves provides them with some protection, and if they can find something dry occasionally in the dense forest, they can quickly find a way to light it and dry the wet dew temporarily.

It's just that it's hard for the three girls, they don't lag behind in all aspects of marching and eating, and even do better. But being wet every day makes them very uncomfortable, especially after everyone has diarrhea, a lot of inconvenience and embarrassment, especially the relatively shy Li Jing. If it weren't for Nelly's extra care and the encouragement of the male soldiers, I'm afraid I would have really given up halfway.

In 6 days, the average day march was less than 20 kilometers, a speed they never imagined.

On the seventh day, there was no march, and it took a whole day of rest in the dry zone before regaining strength.

The outpost that arrived on the eighth day and obtained the mecha put their hearts at ease, but the real danger was just coming.

After climbing the mountain, they marched to the spot where the scientists were signaling for help. But just as they were relaxing, Zhang Shan and Wang Chao, who were walking in front, suddenly disappeared under the ice and snow.

"Cracks. ”

"Don't come. ”

The two of them shouted separately, but it was too late, the biggest danger of the glacier was here, the huge crack was buried deep in the snow, and it was difficult to find it until it fell, let alone a land mecha, even a snowmobile was enough to fall into this wide and bottomless mouth.

Except for Jack and Ottoman at the back, everyone fell in, and the huge impact and sharp ice spikes kept wearing down the mecha's defenses.

The role of the anti-shock system in this cold area has been reduced a lot, and after dozens of consecutive impacts, most of the people have already bled into a coma, and even Zhang Wen and Nelly were also hit by seven meat and eight vegetarians, and they were comatose for half an hour.

"Doctor, are you alright? My lights and detection systems are broken, and I can't see your condition. Nelly's weak voice came.

"I'm fine, though...... Ah, don't move!"

Zhang Wen turned on the external lights of the mecha and saw that Nelly, who was about 50 meters away from him, was stuck between the ice crevices, which were two raised icicles, which would be able to jam the mecha, as long as he moved slightly, he was afraid that he would continue to fall.

Looking at the others, only Zhang Shan was also stuck about 100 meters below the slope, and two others fell on the raised ice platform like him, temporarily safe. The others are nowhere to be found, and I am afraid they have fallen deeper into the depths.

When I looked up again, I couldn't see the zenith, it was obscured by the uneven ice, and I didn't know how deep it was.

"Who's still up there, and who's still awake when he falls?" answer me. Zhang Wen shouted into the communicator.

"Zizi Zi ......"

"I ...... Zizizi...... Top. ”

The indiscernible voice in the communicator is Jack's, mostly busy.

"If the people up there hear it, don't act rashly, and after two hours, if we haven't come out yet, call for backup. Why did Zhang Wen shout.

"Zizi Zi ......"

"Nelly, don't move yet, we may need to save ourselves, and I'm afraid the people above won't be able to help. Zhang Wen barely supported his aching body and said to Nelly.

"No problem, my mech is in good condition, it's just that I'm blind, have you been injured. Nelly said with concern.

"It's fine, but I'm afraid the life support system is broken, how low is the temperature here? -30 degrees Celsius? I can only last for two or three hours at most. He checked it, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it except feeling cold and aching.

"Oh my God, Arwen, let the people up there call for help, it's too dangerous. Nelly said anxiously.

"Don't use it for the time being, you can't give up easily, if this is not a drill, will someone save us? It will be more difficult for me to go to you now, can you pull out your own saber?"

"Yes, my right hand is not stuck. ...... All right. ”

"Okay, 20 centimeters to the top right of your head, you stab it hard. Zhang Wen commanded.

There is a flat ice wall, and at the bottom is a raised icicle, which can be used as a support even if the saber is not firmly pierced.

With a thud, the saber stabbed deep into the ice wall, and the two icicles under Nelly did not break due to her movement, which was good news.

"Okay, now you slowly flip your body, you should be able to see me, I'll take a picture of you. ”

"Alright, I see, I can use those protrusions and sabers to pierce through the ice wall and move towards you. It took a minute for Nelly to slowly turn around and sit on one icicle with one foot on the other side of the ice.

An hour later, Zhang Wen, Nelly, Zhang Shan, Li Jing, and Aina stood on top of another larger ice platform and began to look around for the rest of their teammates.

"Ah Wen, Wang Chao and Lao Jin have just woken up, and they are now at the bottom of the ice crevasse, but they can't move now, and we have to go down another 400 meters to rescue them, and Han Dong has not been able to get in touch, maybe his communicator is broken. Nelly said.

In fact, Han Dong is not necessarily that the communicator is broken, maybe it has ......

"You and Li Jing and Aina are waiting here, and the fat man and I will go down to save people, if we don't come up, you will wait for support in place. Zhang Wen pressed Nelly's shoulder and said.

"No, Arwen, I ......"

"Don't be fooled, my heating system is broken, and if I wait here, I'm going to freeze to death. Besides, I've got Jack ready to call for backup, and if I don't come back in an hour, the support will arrive, but we've failed this exercise. He smiled as he pressed Nelly's shoulder.

"Your heart is really big, and you're still thinking about the drill at this time. Nelly laughed angrily, her lights and detection system were damaged, and even if she went, it didn't help.

The two of them moved downward little by little under the worried gazes of the three girls, each with two sabers, using the strong arm support of the mecha, to pierce into the ice wall one by one. With the sound of clicking, the heart also hung in the air.
